"Nothing is the destiny of everyone, it is our commonness made dumb"
- Mark Strand
About this Quote
In this quote, Mark Strand is recommending that there is no established fate or destiny for each person. Instead, it is our shared experiences and resemblances that frequently silence us and prevent us from understanding our full potential. The word "commonness" describes the things that all of us share, such as our humanity, feelings, and struggles. These commonness can in some cases hold us back and make us feel limited or "dumb" in our actions and options. Nevertheless, Strand is likewise indicating that by acknowledging and welcoming our shared humankind, we can break devoid of these constraints and create our own courses in life.
